I still don't understand how the error here can be in FFmpeg - it looks more like a driver problem to me.
The sequence with VAAPI using HW_CONFIG_METHOD_HW_DEVICE_CTX on your lena_resolution_change_on_inter_frame.ivf​ should be as follows:
1. The header of frame 0 is read, it's a key frame with resolution is 352x288.
2. The user-supplied get_format() is called, they pick AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI and supply a VAAPI device.
3. Output/reference surfaces are created in a new frames context at 352x288.
4. A decoder context is created for VP9 at 352x288, rendering to the surfaces created in the previous step.
5. Frame 0 is decoded and placed in all reference slots.
6. Frames 1-49 are decoded normally, they overwrite slots 0 and 1 only.
7. The header of frame 50 is read, it's an inter frame but with a new resolution of 240x196.
8. The old decoder context is discarded, since it has the wrong resolution and is bound to the wrong render targets.
9. The old frames context is unreferenced, but references remain to its frames in slots 2-7 so the actual frames themselves stay around.
10. The user-supplied get_format() is called, they pick AV_PIX_FMT_VAAPI again.
11. Output/reference surfaces are created in a new frames context at 240x196.
12. A new decoder context is created for VP9 at 240x196, rendering to the new surfaces.
13. Frame 50 is decoded with reference to frame slots 0, 1 and 2 (those are all in the old frames context and have the old resolution); the result is placed in slots 0 and 1.
14. Frames 51-100 are all decoded with reference to slots 0, 1 and 2, overwriting slots 0 and/or 1 only (in every case slot 2 still contains the original key frame).
(Using HW_CONFIG_METHOD_HW_FRAMES_CTX the main difference is that steps 3 and 11 would be removed, replaced by user action in the get_format() callback in the steps immediately preceding them.)
The iHD driver indeed returns "internal error" immediately on step 13. However, looking at traces made with libva everything about that render call looks correct - the decoder context is the new one which matches the resolution and render target, and the right surfaces are provided as reference frames (in the old frames context, but definitely haven't been destroyed).
So, can you explain more about what is going wrong?
Thanks,

[I do see one dubious issue with the sequence: the call to get_format() in step 10 still offers the software format. However, if the user actually picked that it would not work - the reference frames it needs are all stored in hardware surfaces which wouldn't be accessible to the software decoder. It definitely does still have to call get_format() because the user might want to supply an hw_frames_ctx for direct rendering, but the formats offered should probably be restricted. That does end up being fatal if the new resolution is outside the range supported by the hardware decoder, but I don't see any way to fix that at all.]
